This year
we will continue the interventions in Sectors Q, P (era team) and L (University
of Málaga team). In sector Q, we will try to finish the excavation of hypogeum
1 and of pit 40, one with depositions of human cremated remains associated to
several stone and ivory idols.

This year,
for the second time, students of Bradford University will be integrated in the
team of ERA as part of their formation program, as well as students from
Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

Steven
Emslie, from University of North Carolina (Department of Biology), USA, will be
visiting us for sampling human remains for complete stable isotope analyses of
δ13C and δ15N in an attempt to understand past diets and variations in diets
among these prehistoric people of Perdigões.
